NEWS FLASH! If you are involved with this kennel for purchase of a puppy from GITSIE X DANZIG or have contracted stud services from DANZIG contact me to be put in touch with the TRUE OWNER of these dogs and the TRUTH about this breeding! * GITSIE IS NOT PREGNANT!!!!!* Full details including police report coming soon!!!!
NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON- copies of all Karen's records are being scanned and will be available online FREE to the world!
I highly recommend that any person considering purchasing or selling a dog from/to these kennels or persons contact the AKC regarding suspension information, UKC regarding pending investigations, Google all names for information on pending lawsuits, and search public registries for criminal convictions related to purebred dogs and speak with other breeds and clubs in the same breed. Already a victim? Contact us, we may be able to help offer some advice and put you in touch with others who have been defrauded. WE ALSO URGE YOU TO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AND FILE CHARGES. Protect yourself, protect your dogs and demand to see photo identification. Misrepresentation to fraudulently purchase a dog valued over $400 is GRAND THEFT in California (CA Penal Code Sec 484).
All information obtained by BKAA was obtained through LEGAL PUBLIC RECORDS searches. Yes, it took time and a lot of leg work- most information is not available over the phone. They accept cash only, will not allow buyers/seller to see their home (meet in public places) and have shown a complete and total disregard for the sport of purebred dogs. Copies of the 100 + documents I have relating to them are available on request- free to kennel/breed clubs, cost of actual copy and postage to individuals to offset expenses (we've had a LOT of requests!). All documents are verifiable records and sworn testimoney- no heresay, no opinion, just the cold, hard facts.
Concerned you may be dealing with this person?? We have compiled a list of phone numbers and addresses she uses (as well as aliases such as above) and we'll share- just ask. We recommend using www.whitepages.com, for FREE reverse phone and address checks. I can also fax documents but it's better if you see them in person to verify their origin. Don't take my word for it- look at the evidence and decide for yourself.
At Black Knight we are not afraid of the truth, and if by providing this information freely to the breed community we save EVEN ONE DOG or EVEN ONE PERSON from the same heartache experienced by others we have done our duty to our breed and to the public.
NEWS! Karen's attempt to acquire a restraining order to stop me from sharing the truth with the public was DENIED. New info from my research for this case; available for the asking, or I can point you in the right direction to get your own copies direct from the sources.
Black Knight- slaying dragons since 1998!
